Thank goodness we did our hair today for this phenom event! YES!!! Dunkford’s ppts are rad! Power Point MON! Mom warned me I should look good today…now I know why!
Opener 9/12 1. T/F: The American Revolution is the same as the Revolutionary War 2. Guess when the American Revolution happened. • Who Fought against who in this war? 4. What does “Revolution” mean?
Interactive Ppt - We need – • Random Guy 1 • Random Guy 2 • B. Frank • Britain (british accent if you can) • Colonist • Sam Adams – Sanford • King George - Dunker
I am currently thinking of how we shall revolt against them… I don’t think anyone knows I’m picking my nose….they’re too worried about Britain. We really Hate those Brits! EVENTS THAT LEAD TO THE AM. REVOLUTION RANDOM GUY 2 B.Frank AKA: What tics off Colonists so much that they revolt from Britain! 8 EVENTS!!! RANDOM GUY 1
Learning Targets: 1. Explain the 8 events that lead to the American Revolution.
Before Britain gets all up in the Colonists bis-nass, things are going pretty well…
Why Britain? 1. Enlightenment Thinking… In the 1600s • Colonists began to question why Britain ruled them the way they did. • Colonists start to think on their own/challenge authority SO… We’ll Watch the Colonists from way over here… 2. 1700sBritain Enacts Salutatory Neglect Britain lets the colonists run their land and governs from afar. * Colonists LOVE running the show…start to get used to it. Bye Britain! Colonists British
Colonists Like Being on their own….But still need help sometimes!
3. FRENCH & INDIAN WAR 1763 Show me the Money! • FR get NA’s to help attack Colonists. • British Army comes to help. • British Army beats FR & kicks them out of North America. • SO WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL?!? • Brit WAY in debt from this war • Equal to $125 million • Don’t the Colonists owe them!?!? Brit is like Cuba Gooding Jr… Colonists are like Tom Cruise….
Britain REALLY wants their moneyBUTColonists won’t give in….So Britain starts the…
4. STAMP ACT 1765 Awh! Stamp Yo’ Self fools! You must purchase a stamp for EVERYTHING “You’re paying for nothing” Colonists HATE King’s Office Holders
This Divides the Colonies.... 1/3 Undecided 1/3 LOYALIST Loyal to Britain (No rev) 1/3 PATRIOT FOR the revolution & HATE the British
Good luck making this look bad Here’s the leaders of both sides…. I’m aPATRIOT… Which means, I hate the British. Oh, yeah, and I’m CRAZY… I will stop at nothing to make the British look bad! Kiss my booty Patriots! I own you & always will! PS, Don’t I look good in this lion fur?!? King George III Loyalist/Wuss Sam Adams Patriot/Pyscho
Sam Adams gets a bunch of Psychos together & they form a group…. SONS OF LIBERTY: • Patriots who will do ANYTHING to revolt against Britain. • Seek out to harass Loyalists • “Tar & Feather”
SAMMY Gets everyone riled up & gives them this slogan… “No taxation w/out Representation” (no tax without a vote)
5. BOSTON MASSACRE1770 1 Brit soldier mobbed by crowd of angry colonists… Throwing Snow/Ice Yelling More Brits come to help One Slips, Gun goes off British soldiers begin firing 5 Colonists die A Re-enactment… Here We Go…
IS 5 PEOPLE DYING AMASSACRE? That’s what I call it…bc Everyone will freak out & want a revolution! Another Lie!
The colonists are SO mad about this “Massacre” they want REVENGE!
6. Boston Tea Party – B.T.P 1773 • Colonists must pay Huge taxes on British tea • Sam & Sons of Liberty dress as Indians & throw 15,000 lbs of tea into the harbor. • $3 million dollars today
Now, the BRITISHwant… REVENGE!
7. INTOLERABLE ACTS 1774 So, how Do you Like that?!? (insert snap) Georgie’s Response to Tea Party 3 PARTS: 1. Close Boston harbor - No more ships - Colonists can’t make money 2. Quartering Act - Brit soldiers live in their houses 3. Martial Law - The British army is in charge. It’s INTOLERABLE! War is Coming you foolish man! Sleep w/ one eye open! COLONIST
Finally, ALL Colonists get some(8.)“COMMON SENSE”in 1776 47 page pamphlet telling of all the wrong’s the king has committed. By T Paine (not the rapper) Before only Boston hated the King…. Now all colonies know how bad he is!
